Sexy and I Know It
Check out this cover if you haven't yet.
I was not a fan, at all, of the original, but this is pretty chill.

Compared to the original...none too shabby.
This song has potential...already going viral.

Thoughts...better than the original?

Imagine that, you can polish a turd after all.

In any case, over 5 million views in less than two weeks? Good for him. It's always nice to see someone talented and creative get some attention.

LMFAO is made up of Berry Gordy's son and grandson. Saying they have some connections in the music industry would be quite an understatement.

...must be nice to have those kind of connections.

I still find it hard to believe the original is so bad...and the cover is so good.
It now has more than 8 million views...not that popularity is an indicator of quality...but it did get him a spot on the Today Show.

I can't think of any song where the cover was that much better than the original...kind of refreshing for a change.

I don't think it should be defined as cover. More like complete overhaul.
